DANDIE.

Fond Of old Dan, sir! Indeed am.
reckon ought to be-proud of him, tool
Brave a lion. sir, mild as a lamb,
And the wisest fellow you ever knew.
Just wait till / tell you what he did,
Though it's not TO my credit as you'll see;
For il came from my doing thing forbid
That Dandie showed what dog can be.
We were in the pota,opatch one day,
Dandie and Hal andI and Fred,
And TO save my life couldn't say
Just how the mischief got into my head
Father had said We weren't TO DO il
But roast potatoes are very good,
And Hal had matches Before We knew it
We had a bonfire lit in the wood.
Fathers know best, on the whole, guess;
At all events, / can safely say
'Twould have Kept US out OF a jolly mess
II We had believed he did. that day.
For not TO spin out too long story,
That youngster you see there-Fred's his
Dame-
Contrived to cover himself with glory
By getting his pettcoats all af1ame.
We never thought of his skirts, you see.
For he's just as much OF boy as the rest;
And TO tell the truth, between you and me,
It's a silly old way for a boy TO be dressed.
Why can't he have trousers right from the
first:
For, of all fhe 'despsable'' things to wear,
Those niminy pimny frocks are the worst
! know how it is. for I've been there.
However. the poor little chap as I said,
Was all of blaze-and how he did yell!
Hal began pitching things al his head
And stood as if / IVES under spell;
For both Of Us lost our wits completely.
And only for dear old Dan-well, there
Il you want to know, I'll own up to it sweetly-
am a crying, and don't care!
You'd know how il was yourself. think,
II you'd been in my place, and seen old Dan !:
He went for that boy, Sir, quick as wink,
Grabbed his frock in his teeth, and ran
Straight 10 the brook with him. bumpety- bump :.
And there the two took douse together.
By the time We followed him on the jump,
tell you what it was sQually weather.
Fire was put out, though: Well should smile
Ureckon shouted then for joy:
Though, as for Fred, you might walk mile
And not come up with a madden boy.
Mad as homeland dripping wet!
Such little scarecrow you never saw!
But here's the dog, sir, We shan't forget
Shall We, old fellow: Give US your paw!
H. Z. Bradley, in 81. Nicholas.
